A quick definition of mutual aid society :

A mutual aid society is a group of people who help each other out when they need it. They work together to share resources and support each other. It's like having a big family that helps you when you're in trouble. They don't make money from helping others, they just do it because they care about their community. Mutual aid societies can be found in different parts of the world and they help people who are struggling with things like money problems, health issues, or natural disasters.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A mutual aid society is a group of people who come together to help each other out. They work together to provide resources and support to those in need. Mutual aid societies are not businesses, but rather community-based networks that operate on the principle of solidarity and cooperation. They can be found at the regional, city, county, or even neighborhood level.

Mutual aid societies are often formed to help people who are struggling due to poverty, health crises, or natural disasters. They provide a range of resources, including food, shelter, medical care, and emotional support. Members of mutual aid societies volunteer their time and resources to help others in their community.

Examples of mutual aid societies include Mutual Aid NYC, Mutual Aid Tompkins, and Mutual Aid LA. These organizations have been formed to help people in their respective communities who are struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They provide a range of resources, including food, financial assistance, and mental health support.

The examples illustrate the definition of mutual aid societies by showing how these organizations work to support people in need. They demonstrate the importance of community-based networks and the power of solidarity and cooperation in times of crisis.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.
18:03
Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet

How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.

I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.

re: WashU's URM lsat differential - fair to chalk that up to LSAT redaction weirdness messing w the scale or are they generally starved for URMs

And an (albeit negligible) inverse URM GPA differential
